Always admired the way Jay Z has handled it. No clown shyt. Even the tabloid shyt like the stabbing of un and the elevator vid with solange didn’t look all that bad. Never been slapped up at a nightclub or knocked out on the street.

Probably Denzel. Only way I could be a celebrity was if it was something fringe like being an author like Stephen King, Tom Clancy, the woman who wrote the Harry Potter books, etc. Only people who would recognize them are their extreme hardcore fanbase. They can pretty much live a normal life and still be paid.
Mine as well. Then Eddie Murphy now.
A cult following celebrity with highly valuable intellectual property. That’s my aim as well.

I don't believe her, don't most thots love attention, fame, and clout?
A lot of famous women can't stay away from the spotlight. Nicki Minaj, Kardashians, Marilyn, etc.
If she's real about that post then I have newfound respect for her

Personally I could never handle fame.
I would say some shyt about how much I hate cacs and it would be a wrap
i think athletes > musicians at handling fame tho
This 100%.
Singers/musicians seem to have the worst stories with drugs, alcohol, abuse etc.
I think it's because athletes are groomed more and expect to be famous. Most music stars grind away until they get the perfect song that helps them break through. The athlete has more control over his destiny and he knows at an earlier age if he will make it. The singer might not break through until he's 30.
Plus, it's easy to find someone that can sing/dance/play an instrument. Puts a lot of pressure on artists because they are replaced relatively easily compared to a comparable athlete.
It's hard finding a 6'5" 270 lb breh that can lift a house, run like a deer and bully 320-lb brehs that are just as gifted while chasing around Lamar, Russ or Deshaun...or being able to sack 240 lb Dak.

Morris Chestnut just to throw a name out who hasn't been named yet
Mike the Executioner
What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
It's usually the people who stay low-key and move like they don't even know that they're famous. One of the easiest ways for celebrities to fall off are those who buy into their image and get involved in things they shouldn't be a part of.
From my understanding, it's easier to handle fame when you're not that visible to the public. Matt Groening created The Simpsons and there's about a 50/50 chance you know what he looks like, and he's rarely in the news for anything unless it's Simpsons-related. Meanwhile, there are many people who contributed to The Simpsons over the years and had more of an influence on what the show became than Groening did, but most people (outside of hardcore fans) don't even know their names.
There are people who still believe Seth MacFarlane does everything on Family Guy because he'll always be the first person you associate with the show, but he hasn't done any writing for it in almost ten years.
